Hey guys, this photo used to be my desktop wallpaper a long time back when 1024x768 was the norm. Now it's obviously way too small. I'm curious if anyone knows where this photo comes from and where I might be able to get a larger sized version of it:

I'm pretty sure it was just a promotional pic for the movie. Probably from some magazine or something similar.GodzFire wrote:Hey guys, this photo used to be my desktop wallpaper a long time back when 1024x768 was the norm. Now it's obviously way too small.

^Almost positive it's a promotional pic. I've seen a few variations of the same shot, including one with the crew in the center:

Re: Where did this DAM photo come from?
It had to have been sheer hell working in those things between the heat, the stench (and probably some molds) from the years of sweat, the difficult body conditions, and the physicality of the acting. I really think if more people had any idea what it was like, the suit actors would get a lot more respect. At least I hope so.

Totally unrelated, but your username is the exact same as mine from Wikizilla!Mecha-SpaceGhidorah wrote:It had to have been sheer hell working in those things between the heat, the stench (and probably some molds) from the years of sweat, the difficult body conditions, and the physicality of the acting.

Re: Where did this DAM photo come from?
If you are using a version of windows, just right click on your desktop and select "Desktop background" in your properties tab and change the picture position option to "Stretch". That will make it a full screen image no matter what size your monitor might be.
